Variation to the conditions of an alcohol licence

You need to apply for a variation if you want to change or cancel the conditions of your on-licence, off-licence, or club licence.

For example, if you want to change:

  • the days or hours you're licensed to sell alcohol
  • the areas of your premises that are licensed
  • the type of premises you operate – for example, changing from a restaurant to a tavern
  • designated areas within your premises – for example, areas that are restricted (no one under 18 can enter) or areas that are supervised (under-18s must have a parent or guardian with them).

Note: If applying for a variation isn’t urgent, you may want to wait until you next renew your licence. Doing them together means you’ll only pay one set of fees.
